Florence good for families
The medium sized Florence 2 (405-49) utilizes its space well. The lap siding and wood shake roof gives the exterior a look anyone would be proud to show off to friends. Ideally suited to a family with growing children or empty nesters that need room for the visiting grandchildren and out of town guests.
This practical floor plan has two diminutive bedrooms positioned at one end of the house. This arrangement allows teenagers or guests to retain a great deal of privacy while still maintaining an overall feeling of togetherness. A full bathroom and hallway are placed in between the two for added privacy.
The focal point of this home however, is the living room, dining room area. With vaulted ceilings, this great room concept permits traffic to flow smoothly throughout the central portion of the home. A large open fireplace with an adjoining entertainment center gives the family a cozy location to talk over the days events, watch a favorite television program or just sit and revel in each others company while a warm fire takes away the winter chill.
The efficient, walk-through kitchen lets the cook participate in the goings on while preparing meals. A walk-in pantry has lots of space for canned goods, while an adjacent storage closet is available for those odds and ends you cannot do without. Step down to the back patio and a barbecue for the whole gang is no trouble at all, weather permitting.
The sizable master suite, with vaulted ceiling, features a huge walk-in closet where clothes can be hung and accessed without worry. The private bath has an oversized shower and twin basins that eliminate competition for mirror space on those hectic mornings. Across the hail, a utility room has an entrance to the garage, making it easy to bring in bags of groceries or other supplies while staying dry.
